||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not work as a center speaker, must be used as stand alone. Already haver 4 bose speakers and Bose sub, could not use this with stereo receiver. Returned for a refund.

Posted .Hey McElectronics, thanks for your feedback on the Solo 5. The Solo 5 is designed to be a one-piece soundbar that replaces the speakers on your TV; specifically, to enhance the dialogue and sounds in your favorite TV shows, programs, and movies. The Solo 5 is not designed to be added onto, or to work with additional speakers or subs. Sam - Bose Support
Entry level BOSE.. don’t expect much!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t compare with other BOSE high-end speaker systems. This one is pretty basic and provides decent sound only and the price is also entry-level. At this price better to go for Samsung or LG; you will be glad.

Sound is misleading
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are minimally better than stock tv speakers. My main reason for buying them were that my stock speakers did blow out, and the only other option was buying a new tv. The sound functions have minimal effect on the overall sound.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidnt live up to the hype
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even though clarity was excellent the volume & bass was lower than expected. Also it does not have HDMI output, so Arc to TV is not possible, which means I can't control volume with my TV's remote

Bose Sound Bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound Bar is average. It has slighly better sound than directly out of the TV. The sound has some more depth but it is no surround sound. I am going to purchase other speakers to complete the sound experience that I am looking for.
I would recommend this to a friendSounds great but ergonomically awkward.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sound, especially the option where the clarity of spoken words are enhanced. However, the remote feels awkward in the hand (can't tell which way is up) and the buttons don't light up. Not very cool when room lighting is low.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendHard to hear voices
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as something to help watching TV at night when kids were sleeping. It was way to hard to hear voices at low levels. Ended up swapping out for a 3 channel soundbar

Posted .Hi there, sorry to hear that you returned your soundbar. Did you know that it has a feature called 'Dialog Mode' the enables you to hear voices clearer? The steps to do this can be found here https://bit.ly/2WKdeVZ.

Loud sound, little dynamics
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like this unit, as I have a lot of Bose products. However, this little one lacks bass. I recommend for small rooms, maybe for hosting, definitely not for a group movie night. This one is in my kitchen/dining room.
I would recommend this to a friendNot so good afterall
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this because of name brand and reviews. Got it home and was disappointed within 48 hours. Sound was ok, had to use the remote as it doesnt sync with tv or cable.. That only was frustrating.. brought it back!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot as user friendly with all the settings
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality of a Bose is always great; however the setup is not for this product. Certainly could have been the smart TV or the user, but have to use 3 remotes vs just one for things to work.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did not think I got the clear filling sound from a Bose. So I returned it a got a Sonos soundbar. I love Bose, but Sonos soundbar blows you mind away.

Works well but expected better from Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely improves the sound quality compared to the tv speakers but really expected better from a company like Bose. Not upset about buying it but not impressed. Overall, it's very good.
I would recommend this to a friendGood to Fair
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took the Bose bar home and hooked up to my Samsung TV and was expecting a sound that was out of this world. Unfortunately, my TV speaker pumped out the better sound quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot worth the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Time to replace my old five piece speaker system (generic brand), went with Bose because of all the reviews and quality. Doesn't sound anything like the store demo and cannot adjust bass as it says you can. Not impressed.

Probably ok for a smaller room
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was expecting more from this product than what I purchased. I prefer BOSE products and was expecting more as Bose has never disappointed me.
I would recommend this to a friendBose soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound bar works great no issues. Only reason it's not 5 star is because my LG tv is louder then the soundbar. We expected to be louder. My dads RCA soundbar is louder. We love Bose so we decided to still keep it.
I would recommend this to a friendNot compatible with my tv
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My husband spent hours trying to get it the remote synced with our TV and finally gave up and returned it. Chose a different brand that set up quickly. Still, I'm sure we would have liked it.

Worst Bose product ever..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So so disappointed in this purchase. The sound quality is very poor and tinny. Hard to believe this is a Bose product. Sounds more like a generic speaker.

Meant to not work alone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought just this sound bar. It didn’t get very loud at all. I think it’s meant to work with the whole Bose system. We took it back and went with Visio.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Ended Up Returning it
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I may just be getting old, but I feel like Bose is slipping. I bought this for smaller tv and was not impressed by the sound quality. I ended up returning it.
